Cookie policy

Last updated: 15 May 2025

This cookie policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on wanstoneltd.com, and how you can manage them. It should be read alongside our privacy policy.

We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies — such as local storage — are treated the same way under PECR.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Always active — no consent required.

We use local browser storage to remember your cookie preferences (the wanstone:cookie-consent entry). Without this, we would have to ask you on every page.

Analytics (optional)

Only set if you click “Accept all”.

If you consent, we load Umami Analytics to understand which pages are popular and how visitors move through the site. Umami is privacy-focused: it does not use third-party cookies, does not track you across sites, and does not collect personally identifiable information. IP addresses are anonymised.

  • Provider: Umami Software, Inc.
  • Purpose: aggregate page-view and traffic-source metrics
  • Retention: up to 24 months

Third-party services

We do not embed advertising trackers, social media pixels, or marketing automation tags. The only third-party network requests this site makes are to:

  • Vercel (hosting and edge delivery)
  • Google Fonts (font files only — no cookies)
  • Font Awesome (icons — no cookies)
  • Umami Analytics (only if you have consented)
  • Resend (only when you submit the contact form, to deliver the email)

Managing your preferences

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time. Click below to clear your saved preference — the consent banner will reappear so you can choose again.

You can also block or delete cookies using your browser's settings. Doing so will not affect your ability to use this website.

Changes to this policy

We may update this cookie policy from time to time. When we make material changes we will update the “last updated” date and, where appropriate, re-prompt for consent.
